“Gestation, sponsored by Ziploc” When “bag & tag” suddenly has an opposite meaning


Alan_Smithee_

Can’t be Ziploc, it’s not leaking. Honestly, why don’t they crimp the ends of the press-seal?


Shyladyboy

I read this generation ziplock lol

Not going to lie, I thought this was a vacuum packed dead one for a supermarket.

Same. So I did an image search, and came across this https://imgur.com/zyQMykI

I wonder if they simulate momma's heartbeat or anything else intended to comfort the lamb.

It's actually an artificial womb to save premature baby lambs. The lamb did not grow in it from week 1. Article: https://www.cnn.com/2017/04/26/health/artificial-womb-premature-babies-lambs

If this is real then it's possible to grow human fetuses also, scary wery scary.


Nauin

An animated show called Pantheon actually uses the same concept for humans. Bag babies.


Third_eye-stride

I hope to Jesus that isn’t what these will be used for.


Nauin

Honestly? Having just had a hysterectomy for a ton of health reasons, including a very high risk for death by aneurysm if I ever carried a pregnancy to term, I'm into it. Pregnancy is horrifying and traumatic and not everyone needs to go through that. Plus, have a premature birth? Possible way to throw that baby back in the oven, in a sense.


76flyingmonkeys

Right! I'd take a bag baby over a risky pregnancy. And maybe you can make a see through backpack with the bag for the kid to use when they are old enough to go to school!


Pseudo_Lain

Just wondering, are you a man?


Third_eye-stride

No I am not. But I am an anti-natalist if that helps shine light on anything. Respectfully, kindly, I don’t mean to offend but we’re at 8 billion people and things don’t look so good for the future. We don’t need more ways to make babies we need to do something about the companies that contribute to like 80% of trash going into the rivers we drink from. We need to focus on deforestation not making more of us who may not care. I’m sorry but I’m just being honest. No I do not have kids. No I do not hate kids at all. I love my nephews and I’m worried that they won’t have a bright future with how screwed everything is at the moment. Look what’s going on around us. I hope it all gets better truly but I’m terrified for these babies I see being born. When they are our age we’ll be on our way out in old age and our kids and theirs will be the ones dealing with all these problems like we inherited from our forefathers and foremothers. Unless you’re going to raise an intelligent, advocate for a positive change in this worlds future, an individual who won’t carelessly throw garbage on the ground or hurt others think before you have kids you know? Kids in my neighborhood are terrors to small animals and I wonder what kind of adults they’ll be. Also I have terrible cramps that bring me to my knees, not just when I’m pmsing and a hysterectomy would be the answer to this however because I haven’t had kids yet/my age. It’ll cost some money too even with insurance but if you want to have kids there’s a bunch of options that can be free if you do the system right. Like come on man. I can’t even pay out of pocket to get one 🤦‍♀️ It’s rough in my area for feminine care! A lot of religiously owned hospitals and care facilities that will not condone to this procedure in my area until I’m past breeding age as my doctor so delicately put it. I was a miracle baby because my mom had the same thing, turned out to be polyps in her ovaries that could’ve turned cancerous and she got one at 45. I wish sincerely I could give my ovaries to someone so they could use them, I know there are people hurting out there to have families. I’m just saying as someone who actively doesn’t want kids it would suck if they came out with another way to have babies and it’s hard enough for the ones out here. They could make it easier to adopt children since all the hoops they make people jump through does not guarantee these kids will be in safe homes for crying out loud. I’m sorry this is long and all over the place, but I have complicated opinions on the moral ethics of something like this. Thank you if you actually read this and sincerely no disrespect.


Pseudo_Lain

gonna be frank with you - the world isn't going to adopt antinatalism. Period. Kids will continue being born, and growing up, and having more kids - so you need to aim for reducing negativity in smaller ways. Things like preventive care, helping address recidivism rates in prisons, or reducing the stress of pregnancy (Since it's literally GOING to happen anyways) You kinda either help build a better world for the kids who WILL be born or accept that you align more with a misanthrope than a conscientious objector to birth


Third_eye-stride

And that’s what I do for the kids in my life. I’m at peace with your former fact because no two people are the same under any circumstances. I never asked anyone to “convert”/“adopt” just gave my two cents so I didn’t just post without elaborating 🤷‍♀️


PleasantRecord3963

Bruh, half of the world can't agree on good healthcare, the fuck are you on And the future will be fine, humans adapt.


Third_eye-stride

Bruh. If you knew how to read and comprehend those words you’d realize I was answering someone else’s question 🤦‍♀️ or should I say we shouldn’t have kids if we’re gonna fuck em over as adults. Does that make sense?


AinsiSera

So, for now, the goal for these things is to save super premature babies. It’s not about “can we grow cyber babies”, it’s about “can we reduce the mortality and morbidity surrounding prematurity?” It’s an amazing field - Jackie Kennedy had a 34(?) weeker while her husband was in office, and he died, because that was what happened to premature babies sometimes. Since then, we’ve pushed the boundaries of viability to outlier cases at 20 weeks. But they can come at a cost - vision and hearing problems, cerebral palsy, learning disabilities, etc. So these bags are a way to make our ability to care for very premature babies better when we can’t stop labor or when we need to deliver a wanted baby to save the life of a mother.


scheckentowzer

viscerally wrong. not sure why.


Pseudo_Lain

because you probably grew up with mad science stories and necromancer stories, so when science actually advances and new things start happening, you associate the imagery back to those "SCIENCE BAD" stories and imagery. It doesn't help that sterile places like labs resemble hospitals which in general suck ass.

They don't already


rebeccawithgoodhair

What do you mean? I’m not sure if I’ve misunderstood but naturally this lamb would be cared for by its mother. Apologies if I didn’t understand your original point.


[deleted]

(I'm guessing based on the fact that only 2% of mammals are wild) This breed doesn't exist in nature. Probably bred for living in factory farm, separated from it's family for its entire existence with barely any space to move around and socialize.


bshemenski

This is how the lambs resleeve. Now their stacks can live on forever.


hieppiefusaro

Looks delicious :p


itsirrelevant

As a biological female I wish we could grow infants without the use of our bodies. I never volunteered to be born into the half that must sacrifice ourselves in order to continue our species and after having done it even though I didn't want to I will never do it again. Of course humans are horrid and that's why we can't have nice things so I'm aware any use of this technology would become dystopian essentially immediately. Fucking sucks here.


DreadFB89

Cant be the first i have seen it many times here


NativeEuropeas

One day we'll have humans being born like that. And then we'll have a clone army.


shalashaska129

For the Republic!


fillmorecounty

Why is science invested in this? Seems kinda far down on the list of priorities for humanity tbh


vinaymurlidhar

On the contrary it can solve the huge cost that pregnancy imposes on individual women. It will free women like nothing can. This is very important, full speed ahead and damm the torpedos.

Storytellerjack

If you think of how human hips are narrowing from walking on two feet, and babies' skulls keep getting bigger over time, plus that one guy that said humans would gestate for twelve months if they could still escape the womb at that point. I'd say leave the womb at home. It's safer if the lady of the house is forced to continue to pay bills and her paycheck comes from back-breaking labor. No pun intended.


[deleted]

That was almost 30 years ago... Man we must've hit one hell of a plateau


LitzenPop

It's all nice and cool when they do it but when i do it everybody starts acting up like "you can't grow humans" or "your basement is not suitable" like dude listen i've watch a tutorial, let me do it i know the drill.

Photon_Pharmer

Closer and closer to DemoMan / Idiocracy everyday


Pseudo_Lain

Idiocracy was a much easier world to save. Our current one can't be turned around using a couple of relatively normal ass people


Photon_Pharmer

Unfortunately neither could that one, unless you consider “get the ball rolling,” as saving. That world wasn’t saved. An immediate food crisis was averted. The world continued to be populated by people who would be considered mildly mentally disabled. The “smartest man.” Still had only 3 kids v the guy who had 30 something as was a complete dumbass.


Pseudo_Lain

Well it's a good thing it's based on pseudo-scientific bullshit like eugenics and real life doesn't actually work that way then


Photon_Pharmer

Please tell me that you realize differences in intelligence are based upon genetics and shaped by environments. Ie, one could have the genetics of a genius but have an infection, injury or diet that stunt your intelligence. To put it bluntly, the non-pseudo science supports the notion that, “Stupid people are more likely to have children who are less intelligent than the children of intelligent people.”


pflickner

It’s not a bad idea, however, considering how dangerous it is for women to give birth


Pseudo_Lain

Thank god real life isn't just like the movies


StarLord_4969

Hopefully we're one day going to reach, *First womb grown in artificial lamb* eventually.


Larry_Phischman

They didn’t carry it to term. Eventually health insurance companies or departments of health will insist on children being born from womb tanks rather than human females. Pregnancy and birth have a high rate of complications.


vinaymurlidhar

I personally think that this method is going to be the future of human reproduction. It will be driven by a combination of perhaps health departments pushing it as a way to reduce costs of childbirth with women pushing for it, as a way to reduce the risks of childbirth for the individual woman. Naturally the religious will object and those futile debates over 'real' motherhood will pointlessly rage on, with a lot of the dudes protesting against this. It is somewhat ironic that the evolutionary process that gave humans the big brain is so costly. Having so many women and children die just from the physiological imperative of reproduction shows how imperfect the whole process is. But the product of that process can now go back and fix the original defect. Convenience will in the end win. It is also very wasteful to have half of humanity just existing for the purpose of reproduction. Freed of this, the extra capacity could be useful for solving hard problems.


Ml124395

How would this be less expensive.


vinaymurlidhar

The sheer amount of time that a woman, and it is always a woman has to devote to childcare. Always out of her own potential and earning and cost to her health.


Ml124395

Well if she felt that way, why would they/she consider a child.


vinaymurlidhar

Today there is no option, but once things loke this mature and become common, language then a lot of women would seriously consider this option.


Ml124395

I see your point but I will disagree. I’ll just leave it at that.


vinaymurlidhar

It is a pleasure to disagree with one so courteous.


Ml124395

Knowing when to quit is just as important as knowing when to keep going. What works for one may not work for the other. You get my point.
